August marks a year since @GovUK announced a ban on sales of peat compost “by 2024”. We’re just 5 months away from saying goodbye to 2023, yet there’s still no legislation for the ban 🤔👉 https://t.co/ovqHPWp8jZ

The Small Blue butterfly is on the wing in the grassland areas of Banstead Downs. With Kidney Vetch growing across the site, it is an absolute joy to see this dainty butterfly in abundance.

Does anyone else have wildcat artwork to share?

Day 16 - Holne to Bickington, 11.5 miles. Back at Holne church to see the ancient yew in the morning light and then to start walking. But first added the other 2 yews in the churchyard to the ancient tree inventory, overlooked, but veterans in their own rights 3.1 & 4.5m girths.

Take half an hour to sit and watch the birds in your garden or local park. How many of these can you spot? 🐦

Government must have nature at the centre of plans to adapt to climate change🌱

Previous plans have not prepared us for the impacts of climate change that we're now seeing⛈️
